Devils fall to Penguins in six-round shootout, 2-1

Maxime Clermont made 29 saves in his AHL season debut, but Jayson Megna, Tom Kostopoulos and Adam Payerl beat him in a shootout as the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defeated the Albany Devils, 2-1.

The Devils, who lost the six-round shootout 3-2, had their three-game winning streak snapped but extended their points streak to four — all away from Times Union Center. Albany fell to 2-10 in shootouts this season.

Darcy Zajac scored for the Devils — his third goal in two games and eighth of the season — at 15:46 of the second period to tie the game. Trevor Smith scored in the first for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Mike Sislo had his team-high fourth shootout goal of the season. Joe Whitney also converted in the shootout.

Clermont, called up from Elmira earlier this week, played twice for the A-Devils last season (1-1-0, 2.01 goals-against average, .925 save percentage).
